she is sweeter than sugar

After hearing Patriarch Jiang's words, the hall fell into a long silence.

After a while, Gu Ci recovered first.

Her thinking is very clear and she understands that even though something like that happened 20 years ago.

But her grandfather disappeared only 5 years ago, that is to say, although to Jiang and Shen, her grandfather has been missing for more than 20 years.

But in fact, her grandfather had appeared 5 years ago.

Rong Ye frowned slightly, "Didn't you send anyone to search all these years?"

According to the appearance of the Jiang family and the Shen family, it doesn't seem like this will happen.

Well, there may be other reasons for this.

Patriarch Jiang and Patriarch Shen looked at each other, and then smiled wryly, with deep helplessness and sadness in their tone, "Sent, why didn't anyone be sent? But the people who were sent all disappeared... the other families More or less, I have sent out people, but there is no news..."

In addition, when the Gu family disappeared for a few months, there was chaos here that lasted for several months, and it was only after that that it stabilized.

While their vitality was seriously injured, they also lost the best time to find them, and lost contact with the outsiders...

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't think that something happened to the Gu family.

Hearing this, something flashed through Gu Ci's mind.

She frowned slightly, and he had a guess in his heart, but because he hadn't confirmed it yet, he didn't say it out.

She took out the box that Patriarch Xia returned.

"Uncle Jiang, do you recognize the words on it?"

This is what Gu Ci has been investigating.

She originally thought that through Shen Xiao'an coming to the clan land of Luobai Mountain, some doubts in her heart would be easily resolved.

But I didn't expect that the problem was still like a fog, hazy and completely unclear.

Patriarch Jiang glanced at the box, then shook his head, with a bit of difficulty in his voice, "Gu girl, I'm afraid only your grandfather knows this kind of words, and even ordinary Gu family members may not understand it. of……"

And this box...

A bit of anger appeared in Patriarch Jiang's eyes.

"That old fox surnamed Xia, they clearly couldn't open this thing, so they returned it to you in a fake way. You should have asked for more things in the first place. Just these few things, it's just less than one out of ten. It cannot be compared with what they have looted from the Gu family over the years!"

The gate of the Gu family's land was closed, so they tried every means to secretly snatch the opportunity to come to the Zangshu Pavilion located inside the Gu family.

What's more, the Gu family has placed so many things in the public area over the years.

All these things that were originally intended to hone the juniors were taken away by the Xia family shamelessly.

There are also various things placed in the warehouse outside the Gu family...

If it's shameless, if the Xia family dares to be number two, then absolutely no one dares to be number one.

So until now, Patriarch Jiang still can't let go of that matter.

Glancing at the box in Gu Ci's hand, he finally sighed again, "But girl Gu, don't think too much, this box... No matter what, even if you can't open it, you should take it back anyway. , wait for your grandpa to come back..."

Before the words fell, the box opened with a snap, and all the formation mechanisms on it were released.

Patriarch Jiang's words froze all of a sudden.

He stared at the box in front of him with wide eyes, his eyes were full of blankness, and his mind was even blank.

He looked at Gu Ci who opened the box casually with a puzzled expression on his face, and then looked at the box in her hand. For a moment, he didn't know what kind of expression should appear on his face to be considered polite and demeanor.

Patriarch Shen's reaction was much more direct.

"This is opened, why is this opened?"

"Is this the same box that the old fox surnamed Xia held yesterday?"

"Am I not mistaken?"

Patriarch Shen walked around the box a little out of composure, and found several kinds of boxes about that box, which he had heard about.

At the beginning, they saw it at Gu's house.

Later, at some point, he was taken away by that old fox from the Xia family.

Over the years, they have also vaguely heard that the person surnamed Xia has tried a lot of times, not to mention that many people in the family have tried it.

The results are predictable...

After so many years, no one has been able to open the box.

It was still a small scroll made of unknown material.

In the middle of the scroll, there is also a small bottle wrapped.

Shaking it, there seemed to be some liquid in it.

Gu Ci opened the bottle, and a fresh scent wafted out, which lifted everyone's spirits.

As for the scroll, it was still blank.

Patriarch Jiang's nose moved when he smelled that smell.

He felt that the smell was really familiar.

It's as if I've smelled it before.

But when I think about it carefully, I still can't remember it.

But what Patriarch Jiang can be sure of is...

"Gu girl, this is a good thing, you put it away carefully, and you will need it later."

"As for this scroll..."

Patriarch Jiang stepped forward to look at the scroll for a long time, then slapped his head suddenly, "I see."

Gu Ci raised her head and looked at Patriarch Jiang expectantly.

"Girl Gu, you may not know that there is a worldwide market in this world. I remember that there was a reward for this kind of scroll on it before, and it caused a big commotion at that time. Maybe he also has this scroll there. , you can start from him."

Hearing this, Gu Ci was silent for several seconds.

If she guessed correctly, the person who put a bounty on the scroll at a certain flea market seemed to be...

She pressed the position of her temple, interrupting Patriarch Jiang's enthusiastic words.

There was a bit of tact in her tone, "Uncle Jiang, let's not mention this matter for now, I have my own plans."

The head of the Jiang family also knew that Gu Ci was a person with his own ideas, so he didn't say much.

The next day, there was a loud noise outside the clan ground.

It didn't take long for them to know that it was Patriarch Xia and Patriarch Nan who came over.

The head of the Xia family claimed that he came here to deliver the supplies that the Xia family kept for the Gu family.

The Nan Patriarch came over according to the right to use the Gu Family General Pavilion above the resource, and "take" this resource.

There are good reasons, but Patriarch Jiang and Patriarch Shen immediately looked at Gu Ci.

Gu Ci is someone that the old Patriarch of Gu valued. Now that there is no one in the Gu family, she should be the head of the Gu family.

After Gu Ci agreed, the gate of the Gu family land was slowly opened to the Xia family, the head of the Nan family and others...
